MARGARET URQUHART By the autumn of 1642, the Duke of Newcastle, commander of the northern army of Charles I with his lieutenant general, Sir William Davenant, had established his headquarters at York, where he pursued the arts of war in courtly style. There had been a considerable rallying of support from the Yorkshire Roman Catholic gentry for the king’s cause and among Newcastle’s family retinue was a Christopher Simpson, designated quartermaster in a troop of horse led by Lord Henry Cavendish, the younger son of the duke who was a boy of twelve at the time.1 This well educated man in his thirties came from a yeoman Catholic family based near Egton in North Yorkshire, but what qualities and experience did he possess which prompted the duke to select him for such closeness to his son? When examining the types of education which were available to a Catholic boy of his status, a major hypothesis developed. Had Simpson been educated abroad and if so, was there the possibility that he had been trained for the priesthood? The English Jesuit records revealed that there was a Christopher Sampson or Simpson whose time scale and general background merited investigation.2 In presenting the results, of this research, the Jesuit and the musician are brought together for the first time and the question posed as to whether they could have been one and the same man.3 The family background of Christopher Simpson (m) The Harleian pedigree, ‘The Armes and Creast of Christopher Simpson of Hunthouse’, has provided a source for Simpson’s (m) family connections, but as it will emerge, the tree is far from complete and at times at variance with the facts.4 The arms were not registered with the College of Arms, nor- does the family appear in the Heralds’ Visitations of the period. They are identical to those of another Simpson family of Leeds (without the crest) but other Yorkshire Simpsons with similar arms and crests can be found at Edgeston, 1 M. Urquhart, `Sir Robert Bolles Bt. of Scampton', Chelys, 16 (1987), 16. 2 G. Anstruther, The Seminary Priests, 2 (1975), 278. 3 Since there are four Christopher Simpsons involved, they will be defined as follows: Christopher Simpson (f) - the father of the musician. Christopher Simpson (m) - the musician. Christopher Simpson (S. J.) - the Jesuit. Christopher Simpson (n) - the nephew of the musician. 4 GB-Lbl Harl. MS 5800, f. 21; see Appendix 1. A copy of the pedigree can be found in G.W. Boddy's article (see note 6). Appendix I gives a summary and notes on additional findings. Arms: Per bend Sable and Or, a lion rampant counterchanged. Crest: Out of a mural crown Azure, a demi-lion guardant per pals Or and Sable, holding a sword. Motto: Nulla lux sine umbra. Chelys vol. 21 (1992), article 1 Rydale and South Duffield. None of the latter appear to have had any connection with the Simpsons of Nottinghamshire, Richmond or Egton. The pedigree covers the generations from Simpson’s (m) great- grandfather, Christopher Simpson of Nottinghamshire, to the descendants of his brother, Stephen. Sirnpson’s (m) grandfather, George Simpson of Richmond, who married Elizabeth White of Skinningrove, has proved to be difficult to trace. He may have been a George Simpson of Richmond, who died in 1600 in the parish of Ormesby in Cleveland who had a wife Elizabeth, who died in 1604.5 Christopher Simpson (f), described in the recusant returns as a cordwainer or shoemaker, was, in fact, the actor-manager of a group of players based at [4] Egton which was largely contained by family ties and achieved a certain notoriety for performances on several tours of the great houses of the area. His career can be traced in recusant records from 1595 when he was a boy actor of fifteen. He escaped from arrest in 1609, was fined in 1612 and denounced as a rogue by the Lord Chief Justice in 1614.6 The Egton players had the protection of Catholic land- owning families of the area, Sir Richard Chomley being time their chief patron. Katherine Radcliffe of Ugthorpe, a notable recusant and harbourer of priests, had, as we shall see, an even more significant connection with the Simpsons.7 The earliest date which can he found for the marriage of Christopher Simpson (f) to Dorothy Pearson of Rosedale is 1604 when they were in Egton suspected of having been married in secret.8 The pedigree describes Simpson (f) as being of Westonby which was a vill of Egton situated somewhat remotely on high ground about half a mile to the north of Egton and at the same distance to the south of Ugthorpe. Christopher Simpson (m) gave his place of origin as Hunt House, a hill farm near Goathland on the edge of Wheeldale Moor. The farm had been left to Katherine Radcliffe by her father and when she died in 1614/5, she left it to her cousin, Ralph Harding of Hollingside who had 5 Parish Records of Ormesby, Cleveland, Cleveland County Archives. 6 G.W. Boddy, `Players of Interludes in North Yorkshire in the early seventeenth century', North Yorkshire County Record Office Journal, 3 (April 1976), 95. 7 Katherine Radcliffe of Ugthorpe (c. 1560-1614/5) was the only daughter of Roger Radcliffe and his first wife, Dorothy Bigod of Mulgrave. Katherine and Ralph Harding of Hollingside, Co. Durham who were first cousins, their grandfather having been William Radcliffe of Tunstall, Co. Durham, lived at Ugthorpe from about 1582. They may have been married in secret. Katherine was convicted in 1590 and her estate seized for her failure to pay various fines. In 1593, by the intervention and appeal of her friends at court and upon payment of two-thirds of her fine, she was released from York Castle but limited to residence at Ugthorpe. She continued to support impoverished relatives and to shelter priests, despite the continued presence of Privy Council spies. A priest's hole can still be seen in the outer buildings at Ugthorpe, which is now a farm.

Passages from the thesis may not be copied or closely paraphrased without the written consent of the author. William Bernard Ullathorne and the Foundation of Australian Catholicism 1815-1840 PAUL COLLINS A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University March 1989 This Thesis is entirely my own work. ABSTRACT William Bernard Ullathorne was Vicar General of New South Wales from 1832 to 1841. While Catholics had arrived in the First Fleet in 1788, it was not until the 1830s that the church's ministerial structure was put on a permanent footing. In order to place the decade of the 1830s in context, I have outlined the early history of Catholicism in Australia and examined why Fathers Therry and Conolly failed to put down permanent roots. The thesis then goes on to argue that Ullathorne was the key person in establishing permanent ecclesiastical structures. The Catholic Church had begun in Australia in 1820 as an official convict chaplaincy. Church-state relationships were of fundamental importance. It was Ullathorne who negotiated a working relationship with the colonial government of New South Wales. The thesis argues that his success in Australia was based on his own clerical professionalism. The professional clergyman was a newly emerging species in the 19th century.

  • Turnham, Margaret H. (2012) Roman Catholic Revivalism
    Roman Catholic Revivalism: A study of the area that became the Diocese of Middlesbrough 1779-1992 Margaret H. Turnham, B.Ed., M.Th. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. July 2012 i Abstract This thesis seeks to provide a grassroots study of the diocese of Middlesbrough (1779-1992), in order to contribute to the history of the English Catholic community since it emerged from the Penal Times. Secondly, it is an examination of the manifestation of revivalism and renewal in Catholic devotional practice. The geographical extent of the study covers an area of Yorkshire with a strong recusant history, and that period has been well-served in Catholic historiography. However, writing on the period following the easing of the Penal Laws on Catholics and into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is remarkable for the paucity of references to the diocese and the area that it covers. Therefore this study sheds light upon a particular Catholic community that has been largely invisible to historians. Although the Catholic community itself might appear to be invisible, the devotional practice within it offers many insights, such as the extent to which the social culture influenced the practice of faith. Therefore it teases out and examines the changing nature of devotional practice, and compares it to aspects of Evangelical revivalism that provided the surrounding religious culture. It also examines the influences that came to bear upon the community itself, assessing their importance in the revival and renewal of faith of the people within it. By examining the history of Catholic devotional practice in this area of Yorkshire, it comes to the conclusion that revivalism and renewal are integral elements in Catholic devotion and as a result Catholics and Evangelicals have more in common with each other than their adherents have been ready to acknowledge.

INQUISITIONS POST MORTEM RELATING TO YORKSHIRE, OF THE REIGNS OF HENRY IV AND HENRY V. KDITED BY W. PALEY BAILDON, F.S.A., AND J. W. CLAY, F.S.A. PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY. 1918. PREFACE The present volume contains all the inquisitions post mortem, proofs of age and assignments of dower, relating to Yorkshire, for the reigns of Henry IV and Henry V, that are contained in the Chancery series. That series formerly included also the inquisitions ad quod damnum, which have now been made into a separate class, and are therefore not dealt with here. In view of the very full introduction to Vol. xii of the Record Series, it seems unnecessary to add to this volume any introduction on similar lines. The whole class of Chancery inquisitions post mortem is under arrangement; the documents are now arranged in files numbered from the beginning of each reign. The documents themselves, however, have not so far been renumbered, and still have the old system of numbering, beginning a new serial with each regnal year. It has therefore been thought better not to give the old serial number, in view of a probable renumbering at no distant date.

  • A Maritime History of the Port of Whitby, 1700-1914
    A MARITIME HISTORY OF THE PORT OF WHITBY, 1700-1914 - Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London STEPHANIE KAREN JONES UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 1982 2 A MARITIME HISTORY OF THE PORT OF WHITBY, 1700-1914 ABSTRACT This study attempts to contribute to the history of merchant shipping in a manner suggested by Ralph Davis, that 'the writing of substantial histories of the ports' was a neglected, but important, part of the subject of British maritime history. Rspects of the shipping industry of the port of Whitby fall into three broad categories: the ships of Whitby, built there and owned there; the trades in which these vessels were employed; and the port itself, its harbour facilities and maritime community. The origins of Whitby shipbuilding are seen in the context of the rise to prominence of the ports of the North East coast, and an attempt is made to quantify the shipping owned at Whitby before the beginning of statutory registration of vessels in 1786. A consideration of the decline of the building and owning of sailing ships at Whitby is followed by an analysis of the rise of steamshipping at the port. The nature of investment in shipping at Whitby is compared with features of shipowning at other English ports. An introductory survey of the employ- ment of Whitby-owned vessels, both sail and steam, precedes a study of Whitby ships in the coal trade, illustrated with examples of voyage accounts of Whitby colliers. The Northern Whale Fishery offered further opportunities for profit, and may be contrasted with the inshore and off - shore fishery from Whitby itself.
